After getting delayed from its initial May release, Black Widow will finally make its way to theaters in just a couple of months. It looks like its November release date is going to stick and with promotion picking up, a new image from the movie was recently released which pits Scarlett Johansson's Natasha Romanoff against the mysterious Taskmaster.
Shared in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, the image sees Black Widow and Taskmaster in the middle of a tense fight. Judging from the still, our hero looks to be confused or shocked, likely because she has discovered that her nemesis was able to copy her trademark moves. You can check it out below!
Unfortunately, we don't get a full look at Taskmaster in this shot. However, fans had a glimpse of this scene in the previously released trailer, showing the two facing off on a bridge, revealing what Taskmaster is actually capable of.
Along with the photo, Johansson also talked about Black Widow's feminist themes, saying that the film is "reflective" of what's going on right now with the #MeToo movement. She also pointed out that it's "important" for director Cate Shortland to make a movie that lifts other women up.
Here's the official synopsis for Black Widow:
"In Marvel Studios' action-packed spy thriller "Black Widow," Natasha Romanoff aka Black Widow confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises. Pursued by a force that will stop at nothing to bring her down, Natasha must deal with her history as a spy and the broken relationships left in her wake long before she became an Avenger."
Black Widow is currently set for release on November 6, 2020.
